Some learners, especially those coming to Chennai for a short time, would like to attend a certain custom-built course that would fit their requirements, which means that the core of such programmes are individual classes, although the student will be welcome to attend the group classes as well. Smt.Sheela Unnikrishnan decides what things can be taught by her assistants, and what things have to be taught by Smt.Sheela Unnikrishnan herself.

The tuition fees may be either time-based (i.e. hourly fee) or item-based (i.e. per-item fee), and vary depending on the course type and the student’s financial resources.

To support the home practice, the students are allowed to videotape the item he/she is learning
